Fire Tonight - Information Society

Well, there’s a hot wind blowing tonight in the east

And I heard that the park is filled tonight with police

On the radio there’s nothing but a man saying to stay inside

Well, I remember what you said on the telephone

That you didn’t feel like it was safe to stay alone

And you would get yourself to me if you could find a way across the line

But there’s fire tonight on your side of town

Orange light in the sky without a sound

Fire tonight on your side of town

I watch and wait for you to come around

Well, there’s a faint sound of sirens tonight in the air

And I heard that the downtown streets tonight are bare

On the TV here they’re telling me the roads are all closed down

You said that if you couldn’t take the car you’d walk instead

It was the last thing you said before the line went dead

And now I’m waiting by the window holding all the things of yours I’ve found

But there’s fire tonight on your side of town

Orange light in the sky without a sound

Fire tonight on your side of town

I watch and wait for you to come around

I know we always said that we were free

I know we never thought this would succeed

But now your face is all that I can see

But there’s fire tonight on your side of town

Orange light in the sky without a sound

Fire tonight on your side of town

I watch and wait for you to come around
